Of course, he doesnāt see anything wrong with smoking weed from dawn until dusk even though itās clearly permeated every facet of his life in a negative wayā¦ and if i was to say anything along those lines, he would gaslight me to oblivion so i donāt even bother.

@lorelai thank you 
š©µ the heat is intense right?! Iām okay while Iām laying down in front of my big fan, but other than that I am struggling to do much. Not complaining, I do love it when itās bright outside, soon weāll be romanticising summer when weāre coldā¦ 
@HolySquid thank you š©µ it did help having you with me in spirit, I made a start, a small one, but a start nonethelessā¦ 
Omfg I can relate to the aracnophobia, I have to capture the ones that get in here because I live alone, and it is terrifying! I do feel that I deserve a cape and some trophies for bravery when Iām on my way back inside from escorting them back to the wild, so Iām grateful you had a helpful stranger today
@Mira_D Iām glad you enjoyed your day at the beach 
and that things went well with the rest of the day
@Saturn81 happy birthday! 
I hope you managed to enjoy your day sober š©µ
@Qhob13 congrats on 2 weeks 
omg P.S. I Love you , I read the book when I was 17, and even the book made me sob back then, so much that I remember exactly where I was. I loved it when they made it into a movie. 
I think I remember crying at Armageddon , if thatās the movie with the Aerosmith song I dont wanna miss a thing . Both good shouts to add to what I will label, my āSob listā. 
@Chosen2001 congrats on triple digits 
@mx_elle I see you š©µ 
@Butterflymoonwoman thank you so much š©µ I really hope your son gets well soon without any hospital visits, sending healing vibes 
and a for you.
@Miranda belated congrats on your year 
@JazzyS thank you so much š©µ I know you can relate to the chronic pain and Iām sorry for that but we will continue to be sober despite it all! š©µ

Well, I spent forever trying to will myself to do something, anything, and it took all day just to rinse the stuff in my washing up bowl off ready to wash up, clean the bowl, and clean the sink, and then I couldnāt make myself do the actual washing up. I burnt some incense, which Iāll do every day until the inspection to make sure it smells pleasant, and I cleaned the fronts of the kitchen drawers and handles. A disappointing start to my cleaning mission. I havent slept yet and itās now 5:15am, before typing all this I did manage to do the washing up, and cleaned the kitchen sides and hob. A relief.
Today, I plan to clean the bathroom, do the hoovering, and vax any visible cat vomit stains that Iāve missed. (I clean them up with wet wipes as and when they happen, but sometimes it is not enough, and the carpets get so covered in fur that I donāt know whatās underneath when its been a couple weeks since I hoovered). I also hope to sweep and mop the kitchen and bathroom floors, and fold and put away the laundry (I dont have anywhere to put it away, but I will move the piles into the hallway cupboard so they are out of sight on the day).
I just tried to sleep but couldnāt, so thought Id check-in now so I dont get too far behind again. Really pleased to see over 130 new posts since I last checked in 21hrs ago!
I hope youāre all having wonderful sober weekends.

85 days soberā¦ā¦
Beautiful day. Drove to CA to get my hair done and visit friends and family. Had an amazing dinner with my brother which was so nice. Itās amazing how you grow up in the same family with the same parents but have such different memories.
Crazy neighbor called me crazy because I set boundaries and changed my locks. It was actually very funny.
Iām so proud of myself for 1. Setting the boundary with her and 2. Not stooping to her level. In the past Iād have verbally cut her off at the knees and enjoyed doing it. Being highly intuitive I read otherās weaknesses and could have annihilated her. Growth a suppose. Not drinking is allowing me to remain calm.
Grateful for my support and sobriety. Sleep well my sober friends.

Time felt like it sped up today. It was weird. Didnāt manage my time so I couldnāt stop at the store before work for my usual healthy drinks and on the go snacks. I was the only server and busser for dinner service so I was running nonstop. Starving by the end. Got home by 11 and ate. Now its 1am already and need to start winding down. Like, whoosh, where did the day go?
Last night I did some neck stretches my chiropractor suggested for tension headaches. Might have overdone it, or my neck isnāt used to those movements, bc now itās stiff and causing a headache. I should start practicing my daily neck hygiene again. It helped in the past, I just donāt think about it until it already hurts.
Anyway, time to set the mood for sleep. I love my quiet candle lit alone time. Have a wonderful night

Random thought. Have to either log into work if no issues, have to go in if issues tomorrow. In years past, this usually meant Sunday morning getting hangover fare (eg Five Guys) on way in. Tomorrow? Just have to deal with being groggy from staying up too late tonight due to too much coffee today hahaha! I can live with that with no regrets, ok maybe a few regrets on excess coffeeā¦.

Another hot day ahead. Plenty of stuff to do too. Especially for a Sunday during my holidays. Well theyāre social things so thatās good. Will still try to take it easy. And I certainly wonāt be drinking, thinking that would help to fight the heat. Because the opposite is true. Alcohol dehydrates. Never again.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from last Fridayās trip to group therapy.

Thank you so much for the kind wishes about my sister. She is now in active labour so really hoping it will be today.
Completely understand the question @Soberbilly In England we have a few options, and women spend early labour at home. She was due to be induced yesterday so was in the hospital, but they realised she was having contractions and they largely left her to it. Think home would have been more relaxing (particularly with the heat wave here), but once she was admitted it is harder to go. She is now moving around to the delivery ward so will get her own room and be offered pain relief. Thank you for your perspective though, I am feeling calmer. She seems to be following my pattern so while she will be exhausted (long labours), hopefully all will be well. And we will have our new family member soon
